E-Waste is an increasingly global problem that has accelerated as we transition to a more digital economy. The UN attributes the growth in waste to higher rates of consumption and shorter product lifecycles.

Working with OEMs, P2i enhances electronic device lifecycles through its innovative coating solutions. More than 1,000 times thinner than a human hair, its solutions provide IPX8 lifetime protection and reduce the number of devices thrown away due to water ingress, thus keeping products in circulation for longer.
